Listen to Ezequiel 33:10

Ezequiel 33:10 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 33:10

Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of Israel,
&c.] Such of them as were with him in the captivity: thus ye speak, saying; reasoning and arguing within and among themselves; which the Lord heard, and made known to the prophet, who is bid to repeat it to them in order to give an answer: if our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in
them;
as the prophet said they should, ( Ezekiel 24:23 ) , with which he had concluded his prophecies to them; and now they take it up, and argue against themselves, and against him; if our sins and transgressions are laid upon us, and we must answer for them; if the guilt of them is charged on us, and they are unexpiated and unatoned for; and the punishment of them is, or will be, inflicted on us, and we do, and must pine away, and be consumed in them, and by them: how should we then live?
as thou promisest us upon repentance; it is all over with us; there is no hope for us; what signify our repentance, or thy promises of life unto us? these things can never hang together, that we should live, and yet pine away in our sins; so that these are the words of persons both despairing, and making the prophet to say things opposite and contradictory, and which would not admit of a reconciliation; see ( Ezekiel 37:11 ) .

Ezequiel 33:10 In-Context

8 Cuando yo diga al impío: "Impío, ciertamente morirás", si tú no hablas para advertir al impío de su camino, ese impío morirá por su iniquidad, pero yo demandaré su sangre de tu mano.
9 Pero si tú, de tu parte adviertes al impío para que se aparte de su camino, y él no se aparta de su camino, morirá por su iniquidad, pero tú habrás librado tu vida.
10 Y tú, hijo de hombre, di a la casa de Israel: "Así habéis hablado, diciendo: 'Ciertamente nuestras transgresiones y nuestros pecados están sobre nosotros, y por ellos nos estamos consumiendo; ¿cómo, pues, podremos vivir?'"
11 Diles: "Vivo yo"declara el Señor DIOS"que no me complazco en la muerte del impío, sino en que el impío se aparte de su camino y viva. Volveos, volveos de vuestros malos caminos. ¿Por qué habéis de morir, oh casa de Israel?"
12 Y tú, hijo de hombre, di a los hijos de tu pueblo: "La justicia del justo no lo salvará el día de su transgresión, y la maldad del impío no le será tropiezo el día que se aparte de su maldad; como tampoco el justo podrá vivir por su justicia el día que peque."
